Important Information Regarding FHSA Contributions
Many clients have already taken advantage of Equitable’s First Home Savings Account (FHSA), available on Pivotal Select™ Investment Class (75/75) and Pivotal Select Estate Class (75/100).
Below, we answer questions we have received regarding cut-off dates for 2023 FHSA contribution tax receipts.
1. The client submitted an application with a deposit before 11:59 p.m. ET on December 29, 2023. Will they get a 2023 FHSA contribution tax receipt?
Yes, the client will receive a 2023 FHSA contribution tax receipt.
2. The client submitted an application with a deposit on December 30 or 31, 2023. Will they get a 2023 FHSA contribution tax receipt?
No, the client will not receive a 2023 FHSA contribution receipt. The client’s deposit will be made effective the next business day, January 2, 2024. The client will receive a FHSA contribution tax receipt for the 2024 tax year.
However, since the client signed the application on or before December 31, 2023, they are eligible to take advantage of the 2023 contribution room in 2024 (up to $16,000 total*).
3. The client submitted an application with a deposit after January 1, 2024, but it was signed on or before December 31, 2023. Will they be eligible for the 2023 contribution room?
Yes. Any FHSA application received on or before 4:00 p.m. ET on January 12, 2024 that was signed on or before December 31, 2023 will be eligible to take advantage of the 2023 contribution room in 2024*.
4. The client received a confirmation letter stating their deposit was effective in January, but the application and contribution was submitted on or before December 29, 2023, will they receive a 2023 tax receipt for their contribution?
Yes, if the client received a confirmation letter stating their deposit was effective in January but the application and deposit was received at Equitable® on or before December 29, 2023, they will receive a 2023 tax receipt for their contribution. We are currently updating any impacted FHSA policies to reflect a December trade date. The client will receive a revised confirmation letter reflecting the December trade date.
5. When will 2023 FHSA contribution tax receipts be issued?
FHSA contribution receipts for the 2023 tax year will be mailed to clients by February 29, 2024.
If you have further questions, please contact your Regional Investment Sales Manager or one of our Client Services Representatives at 1.866.884.7427.
*Clients must consider all eligible FHSAs with any other institutions to determine their remaining contribution room.

Turn ‘time in the market’ into client momentum
If clients are saving for a first home, contribution frequency matters. A simple compounding lesson helps them understand why bi‑weekly FHSA deposits can build balances faster than monthly contributions and gives you a natural bridge to Equitable’s Grow Your Way Home contest this summer.
Reinforce that bi‑weekly vs. monthly is about time in the market and consistent behaviour, not market timing. Here are a few talking points to reinforce with clients:-
“Earlier dollars work longer.”
Bi‑weekly contributions get part of the money invested sooner than a month‑end deposit, giving those dollars more days in the market. -
“More deposits create more compounding moments.”
Each deposit can begin earning right away and those earnings can earn too. More frequent contributions increase opportunities for that “interest on interest” effect. -
“Make it effortless.”
Align contributions to clients’ paydays. Automating bi‑weekly deposits helps build habit, removes friction and keeps clients steadily moving toward their first home savings goals.
As you continue FHSA conversations this summer, remind clients that contributing more frequently can get their money working sooner. And from May 1 to August 31, 2026, opening an Equitable FHSA account, contributing to their Equitable FHSA, or setting up recurring deposits to their Equitable FHSA earns automatic entries in Equitable’s Grow Your Way Home contest.
Use EZcomplete® and EZtransact® to keep contributions seamless and connect with your Director, Investment Sales for additional support, tools and ideas to help you continue these conversations throughout the summer.

Enhancements to ID Verification and Business Forms
We have made enhancements to some of our forms and created an additional form to help make it easier for you to do business with Equitable Life®.
The first enhancement is an update to the ID Verification section to allow for Third Party ID Verification when a client doesn’t want to provide ID documents to an Advisor. They are now given additional options to either use the Alternative Identification requirements, or consent to Equitable Life verifying their identity through a third party service provider. We’ve also clarified in the Advisor declaration that they can’t sign for their own policies as they aren’t able to validate their own ID.
The above changes have been made to the following forms:- 671OC – Ownership Change Form
- 1027 – Additional/Updated Customer Information
- 1616 – Application for Term Conversion
The second enhancement is an update to Business forms. We’ve created a new form, 2004 Signing Authorities Certificate, to help Businesses provide the Signing Authority information needed more easily! Forms 594 and 682ENT have been updated to point to the new Form 2004 and also have new “Ownership structure” requirements added in section 2.
View the below forms for details on these changes:- 2004 – Signing Authorities Certificate (NEW)
- 594 – Business Information Form
- 682ENT – Claimants’ Statement for Entities
